About this listen
What happens when you sit down with a man who’s been a father for 50 years - and is now a grandfather watching his kids raise their own?
This conversation went places we didn’t expect.
In this episode of To Dad, From Dad, Lee sits down with Randy - the show’s first grandfather and a marriage & family therapist with nearly five decades of experience. What starts as a reflection on early fatherhood turns into an honest, unscripted conversation about guilt vs. shame, alcohol, regret, forgiveness, and what really makes kids want to come home as adults.
This isn’t advice from a pedestal. It’s wisdom earned the hard way.
Who this helps:
- Dads in the grind of raising young kids
- Fathers wrestling with regret or guilt
- Men thinking about the legacy they’re building
- Anyone who wants their kids to want to come home someday
Key takeaways:
- Why guilt and shame are not the same - and why that matters
- How your reactions shape your kids long after the moment passes
- What grandparents see that parents often miss
- How to build a home your kids are drawn back to
